A FEW INTRODUCTORY WORDS. In Shakspere's youthful days the Forest of Arden was close at his hand and there is no doubt that he often wandered in it and that he knew it well. It covered a large tract of country in Warwickshire, six or eight miles northwest of Stratford-upon-Avon, and while that region is cleared now, and beautifully cultivated, and sprinkled over with trim villages and lovely manors, and diversified with many appellations, the general name of Arden cleaves to it still. Many of its great trees, indeed, sturdy and splendid at a vast age, remain in flourishing luxuriance, to indicate what it was ; and if you stand upon the hill near Beaudesert Church—where once the banners of Peter de Mountfort floated from his battlements and gaze over the adjacent plains, your eyes will rest upon one of the sweetest landscapes in all the delicious realm that environs the heart of England. It is idle to suppose that Shakspere was unacquainted with this old woodland and the storied places round about it-with Wroxall Abbey, and the moated grange of Baddesley Clinton, and all the historic spots associated with the wars of Henry the Third, the dark fate of Sir Piers Gaveston the handsome Earl of Cornwall, and the romantic tradi tions of the great house of Warwick. From his earliest boyhood this region must have been his pre-empted field of exploration and adventure, and must have been haunted for him with stately shapes and glorious visions. His mother's name was Mary Arden ; and we may be sure that with her name, to him so beautiful and so sacred, he always associated the freedom and the splendor of that romantic forest. When therefore we read his exquisite comedy of “ As You Like It," and observe, as we cannot help observing, that every flower that blooms, every leaf that trembles, and every breeze that murmurs in it is redolent of his native Warwickshire, surely there is no reason why we should suppose that he intended to surround this purely ideal and fanciful conception with the strange accessories of a scene in France, or that he meant to enforce an iron-bound conventionality of treatment in the illustration of it. There are, to be sure, a few French names in the piece; but so there are a serpent and a lionness, tending to shift the scene to Asia or Africa. The story upon which, to a considerable extent, it was founded-Thomas...
